It has not changed and that is the feature

Forty people, unlimited projects, two hundred and ninety nine dollars a month. Per seat competitors quoted us three and four times that. More importantly I stopped having the conversation about whether adding a contractor was worth a licence, which was a genuinely corrosive conversation to keep having.

Pros

Message boards keep decisions findable long after the fact

Cons

Time tracking requires a third party add on

Check ins replaced our status meeting

The message board is why we stay. A decision made in March is findable in November, with the reasoning and who disagreed. In chat that conversation would have scrolled away in a day and we would relitigate it every quarter.

Pros

No training required for anyone to use it correctly

No dependencies, Gantt charts or critical path

Two hundred and ninety nine flat for everyone

I rolled it out on a Monday with no training session and no documentation. By Wednesday everyone was using it correctly. Every other tool we have adopted needed a session, a champion and three months of nagging.

Pros

Automatic check ins that can replace a status meeting

Cons

Reporting and cross project visibility are minimal

Two hundred and ninety nine flat for everyone

We loop clients into specific message threads while keeping internal discussion private, and they do not need a seat or an explanation of permissions. For an agency that is worth more than any Gantt chart.

Clients and guests included without extra seats

No dependencies ended it for our construction team

Growing past about eighty people we needed portfolio reporting and resource visibility and there is no path to it inside Basecamp. Exporting years of discussion into a new tool was genuinely awful, and much of the context did not survive.

Clients in the thread without buying seats

I have used it for nine years and it has barely changed. In an industry where every tool adds an AI assistant nobody asked for, that stability is a feature. My team is not relearning the software every six months.

Internal email dropped by about half in the first two months because the conversation moved to where the work is. That was not something I was even trying to fix.

The free plan let us run one real project properly before committing. Not a countdown, an actual project. We were paying within a month because it was obvious.

After four years and a few hundred projects, finding an old discussion is harder than it should be. Search returns a lot and ranks it poorly, and I often remember roughly when something was said and cannot get to it.
